So I've owned my RX8 about a month now and it's been a blast to drive. Well, except the first couple weeks when I was still learning manual transmission and I found myself stopped on hills with the lovely Florida tailgaters behind me.
Anyway, before I develop any bad habits, I was wondering where most of you shift to keep your cars running healthy. I've been told that shifting too low produces more carbon buildup and should be avoided, but what is too low for rotary?
Researching carbon buildup it I've read that the main ways to prevent it are:
How important is premixing? And as far as redlining goes, I've heard to do it in neutral and do it in 3rd, is either more beneficial? Is 7k enough or should it be higher?
I lucked out on this car not having any problems at purchase, and I really don't want to create any for it now. I tried finding these answers but the most I could find was the generic "redline it often" or "premix" without much detail about either. I've never premixed before so I'm a bit hesitant to start if it's not really important.

- Premium Gas
- Cleaner before every oil change
- Redline often
